I just went through one week of school and I am exhausted. I had so many lessons this week and I was really nervous about teaching cos I haven't done it for 2 years so am a bit rusty. But teaching is like riding a bicycle. Not that I know how to ride a bicycle but everyone tells me that once you know how to ride a bicycle, you will never forget how to do it. And it was like that for me. The minute I was in the classroom, I felt so comfortable. I had so much fun in the classroom. And did so many things with my students. I teach 2 classes of Sec 2s, 5 classes of Sec 3s and 1 class of Sec 4 and I taught, showed them videos, made them do group work, talked rubbish to them, told jokes, jumped around the class...It was so much fun. But cos I exert 110% energy in the classroom all the time, I am drained at the end of the day. I forgot how tiring teaching is. I used to be able to teach, do admin crap and still go to the gym after. This whole week, my gym attire is still stashed at my desk. I brought it on Tuesday, hoping to gym after school but didn't manage to. Hopefully next week I will be able to gym cos I will be more seasoned. Cross fingers. I've been so busy at work and clocking in 11 hrs of work everyday, Mon to Fri. I come in at 7am and have been going home at 6-7pm almost everyday. It's crazy. But I have to cos Im still trying to get used to juggling everything. So a bit of sacrifices for now.
I am looking forward to the weekend. I have to go back to school on Sat for CCA and then on Sunday, I am going to watch 10 hrs straight of American Idol Season 7 rerun. They are showing an American Idol marathon on cable and since I didnt catch Season 7 last year cos I was in Australia, Im going to catch up.
Im tired....Update again soon.
